Awesome stay - highly recommended

Fantastic stay at this very quaint cottage, it’s so pretty and has everything you need. Great size for a family or two couples. Beds were so comfortable. The location is more than perfect. Amenities around the location are fabulous for shops/ restaurants/ beach /pubs. The only thing I would have requested was that the house had a full length mirror and that’s not too much of a grumble about as everything else was PERFECT! Fantastic stay, highly recommended.

Couldn't ask for better

We are in our later seventies and without a car. Albert's Cottage was three minutes walk from the bus stop, the shops, , money access, The Granary Arts Centre, the Quay, access to the little train to the beach and was thus perfect. There is a prominent warning in the details about the tricky stairs but we managed them all right. The cottage has very comfortable and is cosy and wvery easy to warm up and the hostess could not have done more to prepare a clean and welcoming cottage. We are already booked in for two weeks next year.

Great little spot

The location of Albert's Cottage was ideal for our week in Wells. So close to shops, restaurants, the sea and the bus stop. We were able to see much of the North Norfolk area as well as spend enjoyable time locally. On a very rainy day, it has a wonderfully cozy sitting room to read the papers and watch TV, with a cup of tea and a delicious brownie from the bakery (15 seconds away!). The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. Everything felt clean and welcoming. Really enjoyed our time here.

Alberts Cottage

We had a great stay. Wells is lovely place with wonderful coastal walks and good places to eat. The cottage was very convenient and well equipped and a delightful garden for sitting in too.

Perfect central location to Wells

The cottage we chose was perfectly situated in the centre of Wells and very cosy. The small outside space caught the sun for most of the day and we spent a fair bit of time out there too when not out visiting. Our host left some delicious brownies for us which were very welcome. We would recommend the visitors centre at Cley and Holkham Hall (choose a day when the house is open). Only suggestion would be a new mattress in the second bedroom (probably usually used for children rather than adults). Overall a great stay

Felt very comfy!

In this heat an umbrella against the sun (garden entrance) would have been nice! The neighbours living fulltime there are very kind!

Perfect Cottage

This is our second stay at Alberts Cottage. Perfect location in lovely Wells. Although the cottage is in the middle of the town, it is quietly tucked away. A perfect spot for visiting the North Norfolk coast, particularly Brancaster, Blakeney and Holkham. The cottage is small but cosy and very well equipped. It is very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The small back patio is south facing and a great sun trap. We will be back!

The cottage was well set out with everything required available.

Our stay was very pleasant and the cottage was close by to everything that we needed. It was also very well equipped with all amenities close by for example pubs, restuarants and shops. The cottage itself was a little small for us but would recommend it to other people as it was comfortable, well situated and well equipped.

Alberts cottage

It was our fifth holiday in Alberts Cottage as it is in a brilliant location however the steep stairs and small bathroom are becoming more difficult as we get older so it will probably be our last visit.

Fantastic little cottage

We had a great stay at Albert’s Cottage - it is very well equipped and comfortable, with a lot of nice touches including fresh flowers and cakes to go with our cuppa when we arrived.

Right in the heart of things

Albert’s Cottage is a small but perfectly formed cottage right in the heart of Wells. It is a stone’s throw from Staithe Street and a couple of minutes from the harbour. The cottage is small but perfectly formed and there is ample kitchen equipment should you wish to cook. The welcome tea tray and milk in the fridge was a nice touch. It was ideal for 2 people but though it has two double bedrooms it would be very cramped for 2 couples. There is no dedicated parking for the property which could be an issue after Easter and through the summer if you like having your car handy. The stairs are very steep so may not be suitable for soneone with mobility problems. We would stay there again.

Charming cottage

Albert’s Cottage is ideally located in Wells-Next-The-Sea, just a few steps from Staithe Street with its independent shops where everyday needs can be catered for with high quality food shops. The cottage is charming, and probably the best-equipped accommodation we have ever visited. Wells is, as ever, a delightful place to visit.

Convenient and cozy

We have stayed at "Albert's" a number of times and keep coming back. Each time we find the owners have made improvements and changes, some small others more extensive, and all of which have added to our enjoyment of the cottage. The rooms are quite small, but that is no problem for us, we love the convenience of a central location, so near to shops, pubs and restaurants and the sea front. "Albert's" provides everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable holiday self catering.

Christmas in Norfolk

An alternative Christmas with one of my grown-up sons was spent at Albert's Cottage in Wells-next-the-Sea. The cottage is sweet, clean and an effort has been made to make it welcoming and comfortable - but it is very small. It was good being close to the shopping street in Wells and we loved the friendly and extremely well-stocked greengrocers and the fishmonger being so close though we were less than impressed with the Deli - an attitude issue from the person serving rather than what they sold. The Grey Seal coffee house was great too in fact almost everyone we had dealings with was friendly and polite. What a good time we had in Norfolk! The beaches and landscapes are fabulous and we even saw seals on Christmas Day. And though most of the places one could visit were closed for the holidays the good weather for the majority of our stay enabled us to be outside a lot. We'll definitely be returning.

Great autumn stay

The house is small, bit so beautiful! Great location, a bit difficult to find the road. We had a great week there! Nice welcome-treat from the owner!

Charming and perfectly situated

A wonderful week at this beautifully appointed cottage. A personal note from the owner and iced buns was a perfect start. All amenities are within five minutes walk, literally, butcher, baker and fishmonger. Bracing walks along the beach, coffee at the Beach Cafe and almost too many pubs to choose from! A return visit is in the diary.

Our Base at Albert's Cottage

So nice to have bumped into Jenny on our way walking to Wells - lovely lady and happy to have helped. We loved Albert's Cottage - surprise, surprise it is a cottage and small outside and inside - but it worked well for us as a comfortable base to use the Coastal Hopper and in the centre of Wells. On arrival finding the key box was a challenge -we stood and looked at the cottage door and surrounding area for ages. It wasn't unitl a neighbour pointed out the detached outhouse behind us we found it. Parking is a nightmare and evening arriving just before 4:00 pm we couldn't get a nearby space. Eventually, we found a space 100 m further on just before the junction and left the car there for a week and used the Coastal Hopper. To be honest, the settee and chairs were adequate, but not very supportive for someone like me with a bad back. The TV is tuned to Yorks and Lincs - might be better on Anglia. The cottage was cosy, quirky, fresh and clean and we settled in nicely and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back again. Loved the welcoming cake, which was very thoughtful and the bedroom cosy and warm. All instructions where there and we got the oven etc working fine.
